The Heavenly Mandate's Mystic Bird: Start by Charging Ten Billion

In the Age of Dharma Decline, spiritual qi revival begins.

The gods return, and worlds from across the heavens descend!

To select people gifted with immortal fate, divine aptitude, Buddhist nature, demonic seeds, monster bloodlines, Rakshasa traits, ghostly spirits, and other talents, and to absorb the worlds descending from across the heavens, the online game Return to the Ruins appears out of nowhere!

Lin An transmigrates, bringing with him the Great Dao Choice System.

A month before the servers open, Lin An enters the game to create a character in advance, but unexpectedly receives a System beginner’s bonus worth ten billion and triggers his first choice!

“Ding-dong! The Great Dao Choice System is now offering a choice! Master, please pick one of two options!”

“Option one: Gaming addict. From the start, spend ten billion and embark on the path to dominating Return to the Ruins! Reward: The Heavenly Destiny Black Bird, with unmatched good fortune!”

“Option two: Focus on the real world and become a tycoon in the city during the Age of Dharma Decline, beginning a life of extraordinary exploits! Reward: Awaken one random talent and gain a hundred years of cultivation!”

P.S. This book was originally titled Mythology of the Heavens: Spend Ten Billion from the Start, but while I was writing this blurb, a cockatiel flew in through the window, so I changed the title in the hope of borrowing some of its good luck.
